Ayuh,........

Propping for Water Sports, is the exact opposite as propping for Speed......
And,......
You really Can't do either,.... Without Knowing your rpms at WOT.......

Re: i need some help

What is boat rated for? Motor size? My 19'6'', has a 200. big difference for speed. You do need to know what your WOT ,RPMS are. Their is a formula to figure it out. I use a 3 blade prop. You can do a search and find it. I have three props, all different pitch. One is a spare and the other was what came on boat. One is a 21, another is a 20.
Hope this helps...
